V. 6, p. 2^7-229, and Ann. ropt. Entom. soc. 

 Ontario, 1S74, p. 11-13) repeats Riley's fig- 

 ures, and describes the dilVerent stages very 

 briefly. Grote (Can. entom., Sept. 1S7S, v. 



10, p. 176) states that this species is double- 

 brooded in the south. The food-plants, as 

 compiled, in chronological order, from the 

 above and from other notices of this species 

 are as follows ; Populiis balsami/era, Ultniis, 

 Tfifolinm, Zca mays, and, according to Ab- 

 bot, Coriiiis and Sassafras [Harris, 1S41]; 

 ^iicrciis and Robinia Z'iscosa [Harris, 1S69] ; 

 Coriiiis Jiorida wnA Liriodeiidion [Morris]; 

 Humnlus [Freeman (.\nier. entom., Oct. 

 186S, V. I, p. 39)]; Gossypinm and Acer 

 [Packard] ; Salix [Bethune] ; Poptilus trcmn- 

 loides, Robi)iia pscudacacia, and Ccrasiis 

 Tirgiiiiaua [Lintner] ; Amorpku friiticosa, 

 Baptisia, Pruniis serotiiia, and currant 

 [Riley] ; Coryliis avellana [Reed] ; Befiila, 

 Comptoiiia asploiifolia, apple, Lcspcdeza, 

 Sympboricarfiis, and Fraxiiiiis [Goodell 

 (Can. entom., Sept. 1S77, v. 9, p. iSo)]; 

 Prinos verticillatits, Riibiis villosiis and R. 

 canadciisis [Goodell {op. cit., Apr. 1S79, v. 



11, p. 78)]; and Trifoliiim pralinsc [Pilate 

 (Papilio, May 1SS2, v. 2, p. 67)]. The larva 

 also eats Betula albii. 



Attaciis cecropia Linn. (Syst. nat. , 1758, 

 ed. 10, p. S09). Harris (Rept. ins. injur, veg., 

 iS4i,p. 279-2S0) describes the larva, imago 

 and cocoon of this species; later (Treatise on 

 ins. injur, veg., 1862, p. 3S5, 387-3S9) he adds 

 figures of the larva, pupa, cocoon, and male 

 imago; and still later (Entom. corresp., 1869, 

 p. 294-295) he again describes the larva. 

 Morris (Synop. lepid. N. A., 1S62, p. 223-224) 

 describes larva, cocoon, and imago. Trou- 

 velot (Amer. nat., March 1S67, v. i, p. 31) 

 gives a note on the cocoon. Riley (Amer. 

 entom., Feb. 1870, v. 2, p. 97-102, and 4lh 

 ann. rept. state entom. Mo., 1S72, p. 103-107) 

 describes the eggs, and figures and describes 

 the larva, pupa, cocoon, and male imago. 

 Sprague (Can. entom., April 1S70, v. 2, p. 82) 

 describes the eggs. Saunders (Can. entom.. 



Oct. 1S71, V. 3. p. 149-155) figures and de- 

 scribes the larva, cocoon, and male imago. 

 Lintner (Entom. contrib., no. 3, 1S74, p. 125) 

 describes the young larva. Worthington 

 (Can. entom., Sept. 1S76, v. S, p. 165-166) 

 notices some color-varieties of the imago. 

 Gentry (Can. entom., March 1S77, ^- 9> P- 

 41-49) describes the egg, different stages of 

 the larva, and cocoon. Grote (Can. entom., 

 Sept. 187S, V. 10, p. 176) says this species is 

 double-brooded in the southern United States. 

 Packard (Bull. 7, U. S. entom. comm., iSSi, 

 p. 113) figures the larva. Neunioegen (Pa- 

 pilio, Jan. 1SS2, V. 2, p. 18) states that this 

 species usually emerges from the pupal state 

 at about 5 p.m.; Brodie (0/. c/V., May 1882, 

 V. 2, p. 83), on the contrary, states that the 

 emergence normally takes place about 10 a.m. 

 Riley and others state that the larva has five 

 stages, but Wailly (Bull. Soc. acclim. France, 

 May 1SS2, s. 3, V. 9, p. 266-267) writes that 

 it has six stages. Brodie (Papilio, Feb. 1S82, 

 v. 2, p. 32-33) gives a list of 49 species of 

 plants belonging to 20 genera on which the 

 larva will feed : the genera are Tilia, Acer, 

 Ne^iiudo, Priiiiiis. Spiraeii, Crataeffiis, Py- 

 riis. Ameliiiic/iier, Ribes, Sambiiciis, i'lmits, 

 ^i/erciis, Faffiis, Coryliis, Carpiniis, Betula, 

 Ahiiis, Salix. and Popiiliis. From other 

 authors the following genera are compiled: 

 Berbiris, I^iriodeiidron, Syrinsra, Carya, 

 Qlcditscliia, Riibiis, Ceanotlnis, Aiiipclopsis, 

 CepliaUiiilhiis. Fraxiiius, Vacciiiiiim, and 

 Rosa. 



Attaciis prometlica Drury (Illus. nat. hist. 

 . . . 1770, v. 2, pi. 11-12). Harris (Rept. ins. 

 injur, veg., 1841, p. 280-281) describes larva, 

 cocoon, and imago of this species, giving 

 Sassafras, wild-cherry, Azalea, and Cepha- 

 laiithiis as food-plants: later (Treatise ins., 

 injur, veg.. 1S62, p. 390-391) he repeats these 

 descriptions, adding figures of the male and 

 female imagos. Morris (Synop. lepid. N. A., 

 1862, p. 224-225) describes larva, cocoon, and 

 imago, and adds I.aiiriis benzoin to the food.
